Abstract
Enamel from 34Â molars from 22 individuals in the general population are used to evaluate the background radiation in six cities in India. The estimation of the background dose for each tooth is evaluated using two EPR methods: the calibration-curve method and the additive-dose method. The variation of the estimated EPR dose with tooth position is investigated by using eight teeth taken from the same person. Contribution of the dental X-ray treatments to the enamel-absorbed dose was evaluated using another 17 teeth exposed from 1 to 10 times.
